Pros

Excellent way to meet like-minded students. great social life! Nice location, great dinnertime socials on weekends if you are lucky enough to be allocated dinner at the same time as your friends. Excellent for students, very flexible to fit around your studies.

Cons

Management often pressure you into doing overtime, and refuse to keep up with promises to let you go early, forcing yourself to work for them for longer, which is not very professional and is very disappointing!

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
